Mary Jobe Mason does it again! Known for her puzzle-like
designs, Mary created this intriguing bow beauty using pre-assembled segments
sewn together with cut squares in diagonal rows. Machine quilting and
rich jewel tones add to its allure.
Planning, Cutting, and Marking
Mary has designed yet another intriguing quilt—this one made in fresh
spring colors. The simplicity of this enticing bow design lends itself
to a variety of color combinations, from country to Christmas.
